Public bug reported:

Hi,

I have intermittent problems sending email from Evolution. Maybe every
other day or so, Evolution gives the impression the email has been sent,
while it hasn't been.

When this happens, this is what I see on the server side (IP/host info
withheld):

May 13 08:23:28 mail postfix/smtpd[14289]: connect from unknown[IPv6:address]
May 13 08:23:28 mail postfix/smtpd[14289]: B218622E50: client=unknown[IPv6:address]
May 13 08:23:28 mail postfix/smtpd[14289]: B218622E50: client=unknown[IPv6:address]
May 13 08:23:28 mail postfix/cleanup[13287]: B218622E50: message-id=<1431498208.15596.31.camel@<withheld>>
May 13 08:23:28 mail postfix/smtpd[14289]: lost connection after DATA (64324 bytes) from unknown[IPv6:address]
May 13 08:23:28 mail postfix/smtpd[14289]: disconnect from unknown[IPv6:address]

May 15 13:14:38 mail postfix/smtpd[3632]: connect from unknown[IPv6:address]
May 15 13:14:38 mail postfix/smtpd[3632]: 21E8522E44: client=unknown[IPv6:address]
May 15 13:14:38 mail postfix/smtpd[3632]: 21E8522E44: client=unknown[IPv6:address]
May 15 13:14:38 mail postfix/cleanup[2894]: 21E8522E44: message-id=<1431688478.15596.89.camel@<withheld>>
May 15 13:14:38 mail postfix/smtpd[3632]: lost connection after DATA (64320 bytes) from unknown[IPv6:address]
May 15 13:14:38 mail postfix/smtpd[3632]: disconnect from unknown[IPv6:address]

Now, why the connection is lost might be an interesting thing to find
out in and by itself, but the real concern I have is the fact the
Evolution doesn't detect this error.

It seems to pretend everything is ok and copies the email to the Sent
folder without indicating something went wrong.

Would it be unreasonable of me to expect Evolution to wait for a 250
first?
